The difference between Ableton's UI and a groove box is the fact that you have to think about what knob to turn and where it is located. What I did was stick a bunch of things into racks, and mapped to macro knobs. The exposed knobs have been chosen for instant sound sculpting abilities. The synth itself (operator... so you will need it) has been mapped to 8 macro knobs itself which took it from a hard-to-use, time consuming synth, to something easy that still has plenty of sonic potential as a synth. I reduced the number of oscillators to two, to make for similar controls as on the tribes.
